newbie questions

Sorry for the simplicity of this.

I need to show 5 pages that fade in and out one after another for the
opening of my page. Easy enough in PP but I am stumped in FP. Last stop in
the fading pages is one with links and active buttons etc. tia.

Open the first of your 5 pages in page view

Click <Design> at the bottom of the window.
Click Format/Page Transition
Choose "Blend" as your transition, and "Page Exit" as the event
Save the page

Now do the same for pages 2, 3 and 4.

To see the effect, use the browser preview on the toolbar. It may not show
up in FP preview.

Thank you for your reply. Did as you said but even after saving at the
tab and the save for the web site in general for all pages I cant seem to
properly get it to roll through the pages. They wont transition at all.
Appreciate your thoughts ?

Sorry -- I was focused on the fading transition. Now I understand you want
a slideshow effect. It sounds nice.

I'm sure there's a JavaScript solution, but I don't have anything at hand.
Maybe someone else can help you before I get to it. Flash is another way to
go, but I have no experience with it.

Thank you for your reply. Yes it is really a slide show. I have the same
show in PP and am trying to get a converter that will aloow the carryover of
fade and time and drop out the slide show controls etc. Not easy.
